In 1400, the Liebfraumilch has been cultivated by Capucin monks around the church of "Our dear lady", in the citycentre of Worms, Rheinhessen. Peter Joseph Valckenberg exported the “Liebfraumilch” as the first one in history. In 1908, Nicolas Valckenberg created the wine line “Liebfrauenstift".

In the 1920’s, Valckenberg decided to extend their MADONNA brand and also offer higher concentrated wines like Kabinett, Spätlese, and Auslese.
